Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how bottomsupgayboatparty.com uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy in Part 1.
1. Who operates this website
The website is operated by Sophie Nicole Casey LLC DBA Casey Marketing Creations, 8 The Green, Suite B, Dover, Delaware 19901, United States, US EIN 32-0741556. CMC operates the Bottoms Up website and online ticket sales service as an authorised seller and booking agent for the Bottoms Up Event Provider.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files or similar technologies stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website. They can be used to make a website work, maintain a shopping basket or login session, remember preferences, provide security, measure website usage or support advertising and marketing.
Some cookies expire when you close your browser. Others remain for a set period unless you remove them earlier.
3. Our cookie categories
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for core website functionality and do not normally require consent where they are genuinely necessary to provide a service you request. They can include WordPress, WooCommerce, account, booking, cart, security, fraud-prevention, load-balancing and cookie-preference technologies.
Disabling these through your browser may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.
Functional cookies
Functional technologies provide additional features or integrations that are not always essential to the basic operation of the website. They may support features such as external content, customer reviews or integrations with other services. Where applicable law requires consent for these technologies, they will only be activated after consent.
Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited and how people move through the site.
The website uses Google Tag Manager to manage website tags. Google Tag Manager itself is primarily a tag-management system, but tags deployed through it may use cookies or collect device and usage information.
Where Google Analytics or another non-essential analytics service is enabled, it should only operate after the required cookie consent has been provided. Google Analytics cookies commonly use names such as _ga and _ga_*, although the exact cookies and retention periods depend on the configuration in use.
Advertising and marketing technologies
Advertising technologies may be used to measure advertising performance, attribute bookings or visits to campaigns and, where permitted, create or use advertising audiences. The website currently contains Meta/Facebook tracking technology.
Meta technologies may use identifiers such as _fbp or _fbc depending on the configuration and how a visitor reaches the site.
LGBTQ+ advertising context
Because Bottoms Up is an LGBTQ+ website, we take particular care with advertising tracking. We do not use booking information to create profiles of customers based on sexual orientation. Advertising or behavioural tracking should not be activated for visitors who have not provided the consent required by applicable law.
4. Services used by the website
The website is built using WordPress and uses WooCommerce functionality for ecommerce and booking-related features. Security and network services may use necessary cookies or similar technologies to protect the website and visitors.
Our Pride email signup is connected to a Mailchimp-hosted mailing list. Mailchimp may process technical information when its forms or services are used.
Customer-review functionality may communicate with third-party services such as Gravatar or associated service providers when relevant features are loaded.
The website also links to third-party services such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Google Maps. When you leave our website or interact directly with those services, the third party may place its own cookies or collect information according to its own policies.
Payment providers displayed during checkout may also use necessary security, fraud-prevention or payment technologies.
5. Cookie consent
Except where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary to provide the website or a service you specifically request, we will seek consent where consent is required by applicable law.
You should be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies from the cookie banner or cookie settings tool. Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent you from accessing the basic content of the website or purchasing tickets, although certain optional features may be unavailable.
We do not treat continued browsing, scrolling or simply remaining on the website as consent where affirmative consent is legally required.
6. Changing your choices
You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time through the Cookie Settings or equivalent consent-management control available on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls vary, so consult your browser’s help documentation if you wish to manage cookies directly. Blocking all cookies may interfere with shopping carts, customer accounts or other essential website features.
7. Typical retention periods
Strictly necessary session cookies may last only until you close your browser, while other necessary cookies may remain for longer where required to remember settings, provide security or maintain an account.
Analytics identifiers can remain for periods ranging from a session to months or longer depending on the configuration used. Advertising identifiers may also remain for a limited period determined by the relevant advertising provider.
The actual cookies and retention periods can change when website software and third-party services are updated. Where the website’s cookie settings panel provides a detailed current cookie list, that list should be treated as the most up-to-date record of the cookies active on the site.
8. International processing
Some cookie and analytics providers are international companies and information collected through their technologies may be processed outside your country. Where European or UK data protection law requires safeguards for international transfers, the relevant service provider and/or CMC will rely on an appropriate recognised transfer mechanism where required.
9. Do Not Track and similar signals
Browser privacy signals and technologies continue to evolve. Where applicable law requires us to recognise a particular legally valid opt-out signal, we will seek to honour that requirement. Your cookie choices made through the website remain the primary method for controlling optional cookies on this site.
10. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when the technologies used on the website change or when legal requirements are updated. The latest version will be published on the website with the revision date shown.
